The restaurant was super cute with beautiful chandeliers. We stop to get a quick bite before the It was a Heat vs. Nets game. My date had a cheeseburger and fries. He said the burger was very good. I ordered a chicken Arepas sandwich. The shredded chicken filling was delicious. The Arepas sandwich was served with a side of mixed greens salad. This restaurant is known for its delicious breakfast food, we will come back to check out the breakfast menu.

A stellar drag brunch experience! Bring your joy, participation, appreciation, hand fan, and tips. The food is made in large quantities, so some of it is overcooked. The drinks and service are provided generously. RRrrrrrrrr!
